Lamar volleyball goes 1-2 in John Mall tourney

Lady Savages head to Machebeuf tournament on Sautrday,Sept. 6

The Lamar High School Lady Savages volleyball team tipped off the season at the John Mall Tournament on Saturday, Aug. 30.

The revamped Lady Savages went 1-2 in the tournament.

Lamar opened against Delores Huerta Prep and won in three games.

The Lady Savages then faced Salida and Pueblo Central and lost both matches in three games.

"It was a long run as we had to play pretty much back to back and losing two in close games," said Lamar head coach Amy Wertz. "We have a lot of work to do over the next month. Our schedule this month doesn't permit us to have a 'bad' day, as we play in three tournaments over this month."

"I am looking forward to the time when we have our system running and everyone's on the same page!" added Wertz. "Rebuilding is tough, as well as challenging. We will all hang in there together to make this work."

Lamar next competes in the Machebeuf Tournament where they will play five matches.

The first home match for the Lady Savages is scheduled for Thursday, Sept. 11 when they host Manitou Springs.
